Jul 28, 2026 By Tomer Pugach In Cato Networks
SilverFox is expanding its toolkit. In this campaign, the group combines new vulnerable-driver abuse, newly observed abuse of legitimate applications for DLL sideloading, defense evasion, and layered recovery mechanisms to keep ValleyRAT running.

The Hidden Cost of "Free": When Platform Incentives Become Lock-In

Jul 27, 2026 By Victor Desteucq In Cato Networks
In enterprise software, “free” is rarely free. A free year can be a smart commercial incentive. It can also become a financial trap if the real cost, payment terms, and renewal baseline are unclear.

They lower the apparent cost of entry, support a consolidation story, and create the impression of immediate savings.

Total visibility, total control: Inside DDI Central's IP address management tower

Jul 23, 2026 By adithya.lk@zohocorp.com In ManageEngine
Managing IP addresses across a growing network means tracking a lot of moving parts at once, including: sites, clusters, subnets, VLANs, leases, and DNS records. Add in subnets imported from other tools, addresses that were assigned manually years ago, and the occasional reservation nobody remembers creating, and it's easy for even a well-run network to lose a clear picture of what's actually happening across its address space.

Inside Locked Shields 2026: How network evidence helped defenders cut through live-fire chaos

Jul 23, 2026 By Ed Smith In Corelight
Locked Shields 2026 brought together more than 4,000 participants from 41 nations for a live-fire cyber defense exercise built around the kind of pressure SecOps teams know well: Critical systems under attack, incomplete context, multiple tools, and no time to waste.

Build the Zero-Day Playbook Before the Next Crisis

Jul 23, 2026 By Forescout Technologies In Forescout
In this video, Daniel dos Santos, VP of Research, explains why organizations should establish a zero-day containment playbook before a crisis occurs. A well-defined playbook connects response actions to assets, critical services, and business functions while outlining decision-making, impact validation, and crisis communication processes. When a real-world zero-day strikes, there is no time to create a plan from scratch. Preparation helps teams respond faster, align stakeholders, and reduce uncertainty during high-pressure situations.

How Firewall Rule Sprawl Puts Client Networks at Risk Over Time

How Firewall Rule Sprawl Puts Client Networks at Risk Over Time

Jul 23, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
A firewall rule that made sense two years ago rarely gets revisited once the project behind it wraps up. It sits in the config doing nothing, forgotten, until an audit or an incident force someone to ask why it's there. That's the mechanism behind firewall rule sprawl, and it's one of the more overlooked risks in managing client environments over time.
